11 vinyl pressings of In Concert: Peter Gunn / Knife Edge are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1979 and 1980.
The earliest pressings are from 1979, in Benelux, UK, Belgium, Germany and more. One of them is Atlantic ATL 11416.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ATL 11416, 100 824, K 11416, ATL 11413) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 100824 A-1/79S Made in Germany ATL-11-416-A 033 and 100824 B-1/79S Made in Germany ATL-11-416-B 033. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
